Implication

Randomized trial evaluates cattle-slaughterhouse effluent effects on seedling growth in eucalypt and jatobá species, suggesting potential for soil remediation.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the use of disinfected cattle-slaughter effluent as a nutrient source for commercial and restoration seedling production.
Implemented randomized block design (RBD) with five treatments and four replications for two species (C. citriodora and H. courbaril).
Measured stem height and diameter of seedlings every 30 days for 150 days and conducted physicochemical analyses at the end.
Performed ecotoxicological tests using Eisenia fetida (earthworm) to assess habitat quality.
C. citriodora seedlings fertilized with effluent were 44% taller than the control (commercial fertilizer group).
Corymbia citriodora showed higher nutritional content compared to H. courbaril after treatment.
The substrate with C. citriodora seedlings attracted more earthworms, indicating its potential for restoring contaminated soils.
